Sandra Silberzweig's Abstract Portraits

For this project, you'll need white paper and pencil. You'll also need a black marker, Sharpie or regular marker is fine. For adding color, use whatever supplies you have available but be sure to keep your work bright and colorful. In the video, I'll talk about materials for color but even simple crayons can be really beautiful.

The drawing is simple. What makes Silberzweig's work effective is her use of color, line and pattern. She uses different type of lines and pattern throughout her portraits creating variety which makes her work more interesting.

Think about different types of lines and patterns that you can use in your work - make it interesting! Your lines can create shapes which can be abstract or can be familiar, like leaves or... whatever your creativity choses.
